365 Challenge – January 9 & 10, 2010

I really enjoy classic cars. I especially like it when their owners/drivers don’t treat them as trailer queens. I see this car around North Kitsap frequently. She a beaut!

Cozy Kitty

The kitty looked cozy and I liked the way the light from inside the house was reflected on her coat.

Brand New Wallet, Circa 1972...

I received many wonderful gifts for Christmas last month. A new elliptical trainer, a 10″ digital photo frame for my desk at work, and many others. But this one is one of the best gifts I have ever received. Since every picture tells a story I thought I would share this one.

My paternal grandfather, (I call him Papaw), passed away December 1972. Shortly before his death my grandmother had bought him this new wallet. If I remember the story correctly, she bought it from my Aunt Jeanette, who was an Avon Lady. Well this wallet sat around in a box somewhere for 30 years, until my grandmother’s health began failing. She gave the wallet to my mom and dad in case anyone of their boys might need a new wallet. So this year my mother asked me if I would like it, and of course I had to say yes. What a treasure!
